There's a "little bit of skydiving" gg going on out in here in the desert

either talking to Albuqurque Center or Tucson Approach.

Hey Jay,

If you're referring to Eloy, I'm in that area quite often and they
usually do both. They talk to ALB center on one radio and make
periodic anouncements on the CTAF 122.8. After a close call a decade
ago (when they first moved the dropzone from Coolidge to Eloy), I
always monitor the CTAF AND avoid overflying the airport. CTAF
announcement are usually 3 min. to drop, 1 min. to drop and jumpers
away.
